This is a newer angle on my town. This path leads from the town to some hills that are behind me. The lanterns on the side of the path use glowstone to illuminate the area. The texture pack right here is called Jolicraft- one of the added benefits is that the moon is round! Some […]
This screenshot is taken from the top of the beacon tower looking out over Pig Field with all the torches lighting it up at night. In the center you can see the creeper face with some torches in his eyes for effect. The portal to the nether is located to the left and on the […]
We’re standing on the end of the pier looking out toward our beacon tower with next to it Darryl on a pillar of gravel trying to get a bird’s eye view of his construction projects. Behind me he’s in the middle of building himself a pirate ship. Off to the left you can see the […]
Standing on a temporary platform this gives you a nice view of the constructions that Darryl and I have put up in our multi-player world. The pier extends out into the water with an under-construction pirate ship on the end. The beacon tower extends as high as the game allows you to build. In the […]
In these three screenshots you can see the progress of the crafting of the support pillars for the beacon tower. The point is to give the tower a more mystical look by leaning more towards improbable build styles. The support pillars on the side are supposed to help support the top section which is placed […]
I’m standing at the very top of the newly constructed beacon tower. You can see the lava encased in glass to function as the light source. We are looking down on the main base attached to the greenhouse with the glass roof and farming inside. The surrounding hills and fields have been lit up with […]
According to the Minecraft wiki, lava is one of the brightest light sources and it’s also relatively easy to obtain and use efficiently. This tower can be used to mark our home location for when we go exploring. Between the first and second image you can see I’ve added supporting parts, kind of like buttresses, […]
In a continued attempt to create variations throughout the houses and building in town these three buildings have a wooden frame with stone walls. It is a nice mix of different block types and it doesn’t look very repetitive even with three of them in a row. They are built along a path along the […]
This is the entrance into the pyramid’s interior. At the moment, the inside consists just of the leftover landscape over which the exterior was built. There is a cave system and a tunnel that leads to the basement of one of the houses in town. On the left you can see the fortress and tower […]
This is a test of sequential piston action. If you want two sticky pistons on top of each other to work properly you need to have the top one retract before the bottom one or else it will not be pulled down. This mechanism starts or stops a flow of water. In truth the system […]
